'We visited Stoke Mandeville Hospital near Aylesbury, the paraplegic centre of England. We met Dr. Guttmann, who is the Dr. Bors, not only of England, but of all Europe. He is much like Dr. Bors, excitable, blowing up one minute and coming back five minutes later as if nothing had happened, and vitally concerned with paraplegia and assisting paraplegics and spreading what he called "The World Paraplegic Movement."' (25)

'One of the blokes on the ward told me that Dr. Guttmann came up to a new patient and asked him what he was doing. "Just waiting for the good Lord to take me, doctor," was the reply. "In the meantime," stormed Dr. Guttmann, "you've got to work."' (25)
